Fix-It Clinics

Don't Toss It, Fix It!

Have you ever experienced something breaking and it ends up being cheaper to buy a new one than to pay someone to fix it? Not anymore!

Hennepin and Ramsey County now offer Fix-It Clinics. These free events ask that you bring in your broken items so you can work with friendly volunteers to fix your things and learn new skills along the way. Check county websites for upcoming dates and locations.
